00:00In Tanzania, opposition pressure is mounting after Jadema's deputy chairman, Don Heche,
00:06was arrested outside the high court in De El Salaam.
00:10Heche had gone to attend the treason trial of party leader Tindu Lusu,
00:15who was detained in April and could face the death penalty.
00:19His lawyer says party members are now bowed from visiting Lusu,
00:22raising fresh concerns over political oppression.
00:25But what has happened from the 12th of November 2025 to this day,
00:31is that the right has been taken away from him.
00:35The prisoner officers, basically, listed everything that he listed to his lawyers.
00:41Likewise, the leaders of Jadema and the members of Jadema are prevented now from visiting him in prison.
00:50President Samir Hassan has intensified a crackdown on dissent.
00:56John Heche says opposition leader Tindu Lusu is now under pressure to go into exile.
01:06At first, they told him they will only free him if he accepts to flee the country to Europe,
01:11something which our chairman rejected.
01:13He made it clear he will not accept any conditions that will force him to leave the country.
01:18They have been using different means to blackmail us so as to expel Lusu, including reconciliation.
01:27We will absolutely not accept this.
01:29All we want is for them to free Lusu without any conditions.
01:32President Hassan is seeking re-election next October after taking office in 2021.
01:43Though her rise was met with opposition and early reforms,
01:46rights groups now accuse her government of renewed attacks on opposition figures and critical voices.
01:51The end of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day of the day
